Weinstein is one of the most influential producers in Hollywood and has produced hundreds of popular movies over the years.

Known for feature films such as Pulp Fiction and Gangs of NY, the company is now in production on numerous big-budget TV projects, including an adaptation of Les Misérables with the BBC, which Harvey Weinstein was executive producing.

Meryl Streep has taken a firm stance against Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein in wake of the explosive report that revealed nearly three decades of sexual harassment against multiple women. The same statementsaid that the decision to fire him has been taken in the light of the recent claims. The alleged event is said to have taken place a decade ago.

He and his brother launched The Weinstein Co. They included women in positions ranging from staff workers to known actresses like Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan.

Weinstein's firing came just days after he admitted to behaving inappropriately with some of his female colleagues in the past and apologised for causing them "pain". Meanwhile, many Democratic lawmakers disavowed Weinstein, a major party donor, and pledged to give his campaign contributions to charity. "Though I'm trying to do better, I know I have a long way to go", he said via the statement.

"If everybody knew, I don't believe that all the investigative reporters in the entertainment and the hard news media would have neglected for decades to write about it", Streep said.
